AFK Journey tier list of the best heroes by game mode
Each hero in this AFK Journey tier list will be best in one or other of the game modes on offer:
- AFK Stages in Story Mode, the single-player campaign during which you'll discover the plot behind AFK Journey.
- The Dream Realm, a daily boss rush where you'll need to bring together your best characters to triumph and reach the top of the leaderboard.
- PvP: AFK Journey offers several options for taking on other players, including arena battles.
C Tier
C tier heroes aren't up to the standard of other characters. They're mainly useful for niche roles in faction-oriented legendary events, and aren't really suited to your core team. So they're the least good of this AFK Journey tier list.
